Something Rivera Said/Nick Fairley


Catalyst

Recommended Posts

Im sorry I was just not impressed with Fairley and it seems he benefits from a great Dline. He was handled last night by one guy on most plays and the only time he made a play was when he was left unblocked or the QB made a mistake. What I did notice was that he cost his team a 15 yards for no reason and also had poor tackling. From what I took from the bowl game is that he is very quick, has good closing speed, but dose not tackle well, lazy on run plays, and will cost you with his attitude.

Great scouting report of Nick Fairley by Russ Lande who writes for Sporting News and was a former scout for the Browns and Rams.

I agree Fairly could be dominate but if you read anything of Russ Lande's from last year its all garbage. He had Eric Berry a 3rd round pick at best, Tony Pike the second overall ranked QB, justified Jonathan Crompton going in the first round, and the majority of the players he says were steals did not preform and the ones he said were reaches went on to be some of the best rookies. It may have just been a bad year for him, but this year isn't looking very promising either for example Julio Jones is his fifth best receiver, while Colin Kapernick and Christian Ponder are his top two quarterbacks in his super 40, which i assume is his big board.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
